ELVIS LOVES PETS PARTY

David Bishop has quite a trek down from Nottingham for the Eastleigh by election but here is a bit more info about him and the party taken from http://grumpyoldelvis.co.uk/constitution/

Constitution

BACKGROUND
“The Church of The Militant Elvis Party is a semi-religious party which believes that Elvis is still alive and living in an old people’s home on the Lincolnshire coast somewhere between Skegness and Mablethorpe.
OTHER NAMES
Bus-Pass Elvis Party, Militant Elvis Anti-Tesco Popular Front, Elvis Defence League, Elvis Turns Green Party, Grumpy Old Elvis Party,  Elvis & The Yeti Himalayan Preservation Party

AIMS
Our aims are to combat the influence of various right-wing churches on mainstream parties in the U.K.
Furthermore, the Party believes that the established churches involvement with the global market is yet another contradiction of Jesus’s teachings.
We are also interested in stopping the degradation of the planet by capitalism and the attacks on old people’s welfare in the UK.
OBJECTIVES
We believe that having MPs in Parliament would be an ideal platform to publicise our aims and to combat the
drift to the right of the mainstream political parties.
STRUCTURE
The Party only operates at the National(English) level. There are no alliances or groups of the Party.
MEMBERSHIP
Membership of the Party costs £3 per annum. lt is open to anyone who sympathises with our aims.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (AGM)
The AGM of the Party will be held on or near Elvis’s Birthday 8th January each year.
This Constitution was drawn up in Nottingham January 2010
Leader:  David Laurence Bishop

In 1997 I stood against Neil Hamilton at Tatton (116 votes) and was an inspiration to Peter Mandelsen and New Labour see letter. I formed the Church of the Militant Elvis in 2001 and stood against Eric Pickles in Brentwood, Essex (68 votes) and I stood in Erewash in 2005 against Kilroy Silk (116 votes).  I’ve also stood in four Nottingham City Council elections the latest being Wollaton West 2007 (105 votes). He stood in the Howden By- election 2008, and recently in Kettering General election 2010 and Oldham East and Saddleworth By-election 2011 both as the Bus-Pass Elvis Party
